I totally agree and concur with Nate's assessment.

In addition to the outback being heavier it paddles like a pig. Should you ever go out and the peddles fail you'll have a heck of a time coming in. I know, my peddles have gone out 3x probably due to user error. All 3x times it was at Cabrillo Beach (san pedro), and had to come in fighting a serious head wind off the point. Yeah it was slow but I never worried about safety. One of the times was in the middle of a tournament and 4 yakers (at least) had to be towed in because of the wind.
